The Japanese title, Katamari Tribute, is a more fitting name since this game is mostly a pretty rehash of past Katamari games.

What number did you get? Did you win?

Can you count? Then you could win Katamari Forever!

Katamari Forever comes out next week in Japan and as a last minute news bit Namco Bandai announced it supports Home Rewards. In addition to collecting trophies, you can unlock the Prince and his cousins as Home Rewards items.

Katamari Forever is almost done. Namco Bandai will release the first Katamari game for the PlayStation 3 in Japan only July 23. The release date comes with a few tidbits, like the 100+ cousin count.

Katamari Tribute will come out in North America this fall under the name Katamari Forever. The “tribute” part in the Japanese title is appropriate since Katamari Forever takes levels from the previous games and remixes them.

Tired of Katamari Damacy’s blocky look? Katamari Damacy Tribute lets players alter the presentation with visual filters. You can collect Earth’s junk with cel-shaded, colored pencil or wood grain graphics. The PS3 game also supports full 1080p so you can clearly see the faces of all the cows before you roll them into a star. [...]

Namco Bandai’s DSiWare Katamari game is a distant cousin of the series. Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy has players align bricks and junk by dragging pieces carried by the Prince’s cousins. Fill a row with purple bricks and they vanish, just like Tetris, but the goal of Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy isn’t to make lines. You [...]

Famitsu reported the PS3 Katamari game, Katamari Damacy Tribute, has a new visual presentation. This could have been a reference to the full HD 1080p resolution, but it isn’t. Katamari Damacy Tribute will have cel-shaded graphics instead of blocky polygons.   Katamari Damacy Tribute also has PlayStation Network support, but it is unclear what Namco [...]

Later this year PlayStation 3 owners will gather clumps of junk in Katamari Damacy Tribute. As a series first, Katamari Damacy Tribute will be in full HD with 1080p resolution. The text says this Katamari game will have a new visual presentation, but the screenshots look like plain old Katamari.   The song list is [...]

The short story is Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy isn’t like Katamari Damacy it all. As 1up pointed out it looks like Pac-Attack, but it isn’t exactly Pac-Attack.   Pac-Attack has players drop blocks, stack up ghosts, and position Pac-Man pieces to eat the ghosts after they turn blue. You need to line up a few [...]

Namco Bandai. A downloadable version of Mister Driller with a mission mode and time attack kicks off their DSiWare line up on February 25. The title is also a “premium” DSiWare game ringing in at 800 DSi Points ($8).   Next month Namco Bandai finally brings a Katamari game to the Nintendo DS. However, Koroga [...]

Noby Noby Boy won’t be appearing on the PlayStation Store next week. Namco Bandai announced the downloadable PlayStation 3 game has been rescheduled for February 19 in Japan. The extra weeks will be spent to further improve quality of the game.   Namco Bandai has not announced a specific release date for North America, but [...]

Still not quite sure what Nobi Nobi Boy is since it wasn’t playable at Tokyo Game Show, but since it’s a brand new project from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi I’m quite curious what it is. Namco Bandai’s official Nobi Nobi Boy site doesn’t help much by listing the game’s genre as “video game” and [...]
